| Post subject: | *NEWS* WorldWorksGames RELAUNCH! |
We're Just Getting Started! www.worldworksgames.com WorldWorksGames is nearing its 10th anniversary and as astounding as that number is to those of us who've been around since the beginning, what's more exciting is just how far we have left to go. This decade long journey saw WWG setting many new standards, occasionally fumbling but always pushing the limits of where we could take the medium and the market. The journey has taught us that the road isn't just long, it never truly ends and each new place we visit is more amazing than the last. Put simply; WorldWorksGames has finally come of age and we want you by our side as we explore new paths. We can't say the above without mentioning the incredible nature of the community which has formed around us over the past decade. Bar none, the WorldWorksGames community is one of the friendliest, most supportive communities out there. You simply won't meet a better group of people and we are constantly humbled by how fortunate we are to have you along with us for the ride. At Home with WorldWorksGames To us, the WWG website is about much more than the same old, tired e-store experience you've seen a million times before. To us, its always been a place to hang your hat, talk with like-minded friends and explore the potential of the hobby together. Though we've worked very hard for the past year to ensure an intuitive shopping experience, our focus moving forward will be on the community, how to make it stronger, more supportive, more inspiring and it will never truly be finished (so watch the wet paint!). This is a work in progress fueled by you! New Store Features *NOTE TO PREVIOUS CUSTOMERS* Your previous store accounts have been migrated to the new webstore. Please use your existing login data to gain access to your account. If you can't remember your password, have the system send you a new one (keep an eye on those spam filters). If you do not recieve an e-mail notification please get in touch with us directly http://www.worldworksgames.com/store/in ... ew=contact and we will manually reset your password. Reduced Prices!: Over the years we've seen pricing trends change dramatically while the market found its feet. To that end, we've adjusted pricing catalog wide to help you stretch your hobby dollars to the max! Food and clothing are just as important as gaming goods...we realize that! Robust Catalog Filtration Tools: You can now browse our catalog by Category, Genre and Product Line. We've broken our products into distinct product lines, with detailed descriptions for each, to help you make an informed purchase decision each step of the way! FREE Kitbashes!: Product owners now have completely free access to fan modified kitbashes associated with each core catalog purchase. Kitbashes remain available for purchase to those who do not own or for whatever reason do not wish to own the model set from which they were derived. (More kitbashes to be added and updated from our archives as we move forward). Easy Downloads with "Collections": We've created an all new “My Home” area which includes 3 handy visual collections tools. My Collection, My Kitbashes & My Freebies offer you a visually intuitive listing of your purchases and complimentary contents. Simply scan to the product image of your choice and hit “Download”. Doesn't get any simpler than that! Public Profiles: The single best way to promote community growth is to promote community members as individuals! With Public Profiles, users can opt to share details about themselves, their builds, their product reviews, their hobby and their level of support in general. We have additional enhancements coming to the Public Profiles area which will offer tighter integrations to other areas (forums/galleries) and connect users in unique ways, to inspire, to forge friendships and offer guidance. You can also use Public Profiles to check in on your favorite designers to see what they've created in the past and what they are working on right now! Countdowns: After a product hits a specific level of completion on our “In the Works” meter on our homepage, you can expect a countdown to start which exactly marks a products launch date on our store. News & Social Networks: WorldWorksGames will be fully supporting regular updates to FaceBook and Twitter feeds as well as regular RSS support and a newly streamlined newsletter format. Keeping up to date with WWG has never been easier! Expanded FAQ / Tutorials Area: We've expanded and consolidated our tutorials, support materials and information into an easy to browse listing. More Friends on the Way!: You can expect to see some fresh faced designers around WorldWorksGames as we continue to expand our catalog and product range (you may even know a few of them). You will also see unique features from time to time with a focus on maximizing your table top gaming experience! Much More to Come! We aren't done yet! The truth is that the new WorldWorksGames store has many planned features waiting in the wings for implementation. We have broad improvements to community features, a richer user experience and support structure, additional shopping tools and much more on the way! Our goal is to provide you with the best online shopping experience and community experience possible for tabletop gaming related goods, both digital and otherwise. Like we said; we're just getting started! Oh a couple more things... Ironing Out the Bugs: We've done a good deal of testing but our good friend Murphy tells us that we will absolutely run into issues during our first few days out of the gate. First, be patient with us and if you come across issues with the new site please help us resolve them by <a href="http://worldworksgames.com/store/index.php?view=contact">getting in touch</a></p> with a detailed description of your problem (please use the "Website Issues" subject dropdown). Product Retirements: Some products in our catalog have been permanently retired due to age, quality and or comparable replacements. If you have past purchases in your order history which have been retired but for one reason or another you still require access to, please feel free to <a href="http://worldworksgames.com/store/index.php?view=contact">drop us a line</a></p> and let us know. We'll do what we can to accommodate you. HUGE THANKS!: And last but absolutely not least, a HUGE thank you goes out to all of our beta testers who helped bash around the new storefront, to our families for enduring our absence in the face of many late nights and especially to Christopher Roe for the many sleepless nights coding, his creativity, and generally helping make the site awesome. Couldn't have done it without you Chris! -WWG Crew |

Love the new site, guys! Hopefully you can get some (much needed, I'm sure) rest now! Oh, and I have to say thank you (!!!) for making kitbashes free for people who own the set(s) from which they are derived! That was totally unexpected! I would gush some more about the new site, but I need to get some sleep now myself (have to be at work in....lessee here, 4.5 hours!). But don't you fret, I'll log back in later to gush some more! Really nice work, everyone. Ya done yourselves proud!

Not just shiny! (^_^) I really like how dynamic navigating feels on the front page, with nice, BIG pics (I will purchase the Battlepack: Gothic/Sci-fi in just a few moments to celebrate your revamp). The countdowns are excellent as well! The only thing I don't like is that because everything is so much bigger, the frontpage no longer accomodates my navigation window (@_@). I've usually got another window up doing something so the front page will be cropped in my case! Oh well! Anyway, I'm off to make a purchase! (^o^)/ |

Congrats guys! And thanks for making the kitbashes free for product owners - very cool of you! Only one fantasy set in the near-term pipeline? Well, I can't wait to see what the Feisty Friar is all about!

Looks really good, congrats to all involved. Just glad I pulled the trigger on a Mayhem Industrial purchase a couple days ago, as it seems to have been retired if I'm not mistaken. Looking forward to the Mayhem cars kit. |

Thanks, everyone! Also, and just a clarification so everybody understands this: 1. You do NOT need to re-register or create a new account. I brought over your old account data and order histories, so your old username and password should work. 2. If you're having login issues (a couple people have, so far), and you're not getting the automated password reset emails, please feel free to escalate to using the Contact Form ( http://www.worldworksgames.com/store/in ... ew=contact ), and the "Website Issues" subject will send your request straight to my personal inbox, which is currently open in another tab. I'm in full-on support mode for today, and will remain so until we're confident the wheels won't fall off the storefront. I'll get you taken care of manually if you're having password issues. |

This is looking great - you sure did a good job on the relaunch! One question: we're still limited as to how often we can download a purchased item? There was a hint somewhere that you were considering unlimited downloads, so I'm kinda curious

You'll see a huge difference the second you run out of downloads. The download button will change to a "Request Reset" button and when you click that, it sends in a reset request for you automatically. You don't have to email us with requests or anything of the sort, you just click a button and then check back later. Once we figure out why our outgoing automated emails are consistently being eaten by spam filters and how to stop it from happening so often, we'll add automatic email notifications for things like that. |

Just a heads-up to everyone--we're currently having a few issues with the download delivery system. I am working on it right now. |

Okay, that's sorted out. I'm noticing that certain browsers have trouble with the headers sent by the server, so I'm looking into browser-specific workarounds for some versions of IE and Chrome. |
